Uh, Dr. Candelario.

Max.

Either you're getting faster
or I'm getting slower.

Oh, since you're my boss, let's just say

- I'm getting faster.
- Oh, that's very kind of you.

Thank you, by the way, for taking charge

while Bloom's on vacation.
I know it's short notice.

- Vacation?
- Yeah.

About time.

They took Dr. Bloom off
the schedule for two weeks.

It's not a problem.

Uh, maybe add another two weeks.

She's acquired a lot of vacation.

In that case, I'd like to make a couple

changes around here to make
things more efficient.

Efficient. I love efficient.

What kind of efficient?

First I wanna switch
the nurses' scheduling

to a seniority-based point system

- Good.
- It rewards loyalty.

Nice.

Second, I want ED to start
using a supply chain

tracking software for instant
restocking of critical items.

Smart.

And third, no more
double and triple shifts.

Personnel need rest or people die.

Sounds like you should be doing my job.

Jumper off a six-story building.

Landed on a parked minivan.
160 over 90, 158.

Intubated in the field but with
continued trouble

oxygenating on 100%.

Jumper landed on his chest.

Obliterated the integrity
of the chest wall.

Absent breath sounds on the left

- with tracheal deviation.
- Grab me a blood gas kit.

- I need a chest tube set up.
- Thank you.

Punch through the intercostal
muscle and get a tube in.

And...

Got it. Run an I-STAT ABG.

Thank you. Do we know who this guy is?

Cell phone, wallet?

Go ahead and start
antibiotics prophylaxis.

Another vet.

It's a Marine.

Alex Demos.

War never ends.

Battlefield rules.
Treat now, mourn later.

We need to know the volume
of the evacuated wound.

Billy, leave those people alone.

We're gonna get kicked out of here.

I hope we land somewhere with a bed.

You were right.
It's nice to be spontaneous.

Nice enough to do it again?

Yeah, you can't plan spontaneity.

People are staring.

Yeah, you're right.

We should probably take
this somewhere else.

Absolutely not.

Was I too loud?

Where have you been hiding that voice?

In the shower.

We gotta take more showers together.

- Sheesh.
- Thank you.

Where did you come from?

Uh, Chicago.

No, I mean, how did you
end up in my life?

Our friend Lauren introduced us.

- Our friend Lauren?
- Mm-hmm.

I forgot.

I...

I what?

Uh...

I am going to take you
to the greatest dinner tonight.

Can't wait.

I...

- Don't.
- What?

Don't say it.

I'm just gonna say this one thing.

I tell Martin I love him, like,
97 times a day.

That's it. I'm out.

Have a good one.

Dr. Kapoor.

Neuro consult's in Bay 24.

Something feels different around here.

Calmer.

Dr. Bloom's on vacation.

I have a strict policy
of calm efficiency.

No hysterics, no yelling.
Just simple patient care.

Nothing makes me happier than
the words "calm efficiency."

Good.

Then you and I are gonna
make a great team.

- Very good.
- Uh, just one thing.

I have a Ten D-or-D policy.

You have ten minutes per
patient to diagnose

or discharge.

Keeps the patients moving through.

- Ten minutes?
- Ten minutes.

I don't think that's possible because...

Rumination disorder,
six and a half minutes.

Ten minutes it is.

Ah, just the man I wanted to see.

Really? I haven't implemented
any policies that even slightly

resemble socialism today,
but it is still early.

- What is that god-awful smell?
- It's breakfast.

It's a bagel, uh,
cream cheese, lox, capers,

blended to perfection
and about all my throat

- can handle right now.
- Max.

- Yeah.
- I need you to help me.

Yeah, well, how can I, uh, you know...

SO, Karen Brantley is out of control.

- The new chair of the board?
- Yep.

She's just another billionaire
who thinks that her

business acumen makes her
an expert on healthcare.

Well, who better to make
decisions for a public hospital

than somebody who will
never step foot in one?

Right, but she's trying to push the board

into restructuring New
Amsterdam into a profit center.

Ah, yeah, kinda goes against our whole

- being a patient center.
- Exactly.

And I'm the only one on
the board who's willing

to stand up to her.

Well, I would have your back
if I was on the board.

- Max, you are on the board.
- I am?

You are, you just never attend meetings.

So I need you to talk to Karen Brantley.

I need you to give her the full Max.

- Just turn this around.
- Yeah, consider it turned.

- Done.
- Okay.

- Yeah.
- Don't take the smoothie.

Miss? It's kinda cold out here.

Do you wanna come inside the hospital?

Miss?

Excuse me.

Excuse me!

Found down, unresponsive,
pinpoint pupils,

respiratory rate of five.

Looks like an opioid overdose.

I need an intranasal Narcan.

Rashes and blisters all over.
Are you on it?

Get a tube in.

Where am I?

- My bag. Where's my bag?
- Whoa.

She's probably looking for her stash.

What did you do with my bag?
What did you do with my bag?!

- Calm down.
- I have to get out of here!

- Ma'am, ma'am, ma'am!
- No, I need my bag!

Please!

Please.

She can't be more than a week old.

- Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome.
- How bad?

Finnegan score is through the roof.

Good thing you found her when you did.

She wouldn't have lasted more
than an hour out there.

Is she gonna be okay?

Go and talk to the mother.
I'll take it from here.

Wendy, your baby is suffering
from opioid withdrawal.

You're gonna be feeling it soon, too.

Is there someone that we
can call for you?

And your baby?

Are you sure? Hm.

I didn't mean to hurt her.

I just couldn't...

I couldn't quit.

I tried.

I swear I tried.

What's her name?

I never gave her one.

Another vet.

Yeah, Alex Demos was lucky
surviving a six story fall.

Uh-huh, and appears to be heavily sedated

for surgical transport.

Bit of an obstacle when
it comes to talk therapy.

So, what's going on?
What am I doing here?

We need answers he can't give.

We found these on him and this
is not his first rodeo.

Yeah.

See, these fractures are from today,

but these are all healed fractures.

Oh, yeah.

He's undergone massive, repeated trauma.

That is some rodeo.

This guy's intent on hurting himself,

and he's gonna keep trying
unless we can help him.

Yeah, okay.

All right, let me reach out
to my contacts at the VA.

See what I can find out.

Okay.

Headaches started around
the time my in-laws moved in.

Maybe it's psychosomatic.

But joint pain is not.

Hi, hon. You doing okay?

Can I get you anything?

I'm fine, Irene.

I don't think you're supposed
to be back here.

Oh, sorry.

I'm around if you need me.

Oh, yes.

One second, please.

Sorry, I need more time.

You've had ten minutes.

But Mrs. Laghari's tests
are inconclusive.

I need a more detailed medical history.

So, ten more minutes, please.

In the spirit of calm efficiency.

- Ten more minutes.
- Thank you.

But not more.

Someone page me?

- Yeah, jumper in trauma one.
- Uh-huh.

And heads up. Night shift rules today.

- Candelario's in charge.
- Where's Bloom?

Vacation.

- Bloom's on vacation?
- I know.

I hope it's not a sign of the apocalypse.

Sort of sudden.

- She say where she was going?
- Nope.

Nor is it any of my concern.

Neither is the color
of her favorite swimsuit

or whether she packed
an appropriate sunscreen.

What is my concern is my patients.

Here in the ED.

Was just curious.

All I know is that Max asked
me to take her off the schedule

for the next four weeks.

Four weeks?

"Out of the night that covers me,

"black as the pit from pole to pole,

- I thank whatever gods may be..."
- Six units of B-positive.

You mean A-positive, right?

His chart says A-positive from
the dog tags we found on him.

Then his dog tags
are barking the wrong tune.

Type and cross says B-Positive.

Hey, hey, that... that is not Alex Demos.

It's definitely starting
to seem that way.

Yeah, called my friends at the VA,

and Alex Demos is a woman.

That's not a woman.

Oh, guess that explains why
this guy isn't A-Positive.

Yeah.

So then what the hell
is he doing with her dog tags?

- Karen Brantley.
- Max.

Thanks for meeting me.

I appreciate the lunch invitation.

I'm not familiar with
Le Chariot Du Chien.

Is it new?

Uh, see, they use these,
um, croissants instead

of hot dog buns, so...

- Nice touch.
- Yeah.

Um...

You're not joining me?

Mmm, drinking mine, actually.

It's, uh, chili cheese fries
and, uh... and a little bit

of chocolate shake. It's, uh, not bad.

So, I thought maybe we should
discuss some of your proposed,

uh, changes for New Amsterdam.

I'm going to assume you
already talked with Dean Fulton

so let me save you
the trouble of delivering

the rousing speech you no doubt prepared.

I don't know if I'd say rousing.

It was stirring, maybe, but...

I believe we can turn New Amsterdam

into a profit center while
still putting patients first.

You do?

The Dean sees everything
as black or white,

good or bad.

Which is why the board thinks
it's time for a different Dean.

They what?

The board's calling a vote
to terminate Fulton's contract.

Tonight's meeting.

Well...

Wow, when were you planning
on telling Dean Fulton this?

Tonight.

Look, Max, I like you.

You think outside the box.

Renting an apartment
for that homeless person,

reallocating obsolete resources

to service the Sheepshead Bay area,

you're actually making money.

- And helping people.
- See?

We can do both. You, me, and a new Dean.

What do you say?

Mmm.

Miss Birdwell, it's...

Uh, where's Wendy Birdwell,
the baby's mother?

Nobody told you? She left.

Wait, h... her baby's still in the PIC-U.

It's not her baby anymore.

She Safe Haven surrendered her.

How's she doing?

Well, she's deficient
in almost every category.

And she can't keep any formula down.

Jenny says that it's the worst
case of NAS she's ever seen.

They think that she might
lapse into seizures.

We'll get her through it.

How?

How does she get through
withdrawal and recovery

without her mother?

Her mother didn't even give her a name.

Maybe Safe Haven surrender
was a good choice.

No choice here is good.

She's just so tiny and helpless.

Baby Doe isn't responding to treatment.

To any of it?

If anything, it's making her worse.

Jenny, what about rooming in?

It'd be worth a try,
but not without the mother.

What is that?

NAS babies are sensitive to stimulus

and the PIC-U's a noisy place.

Rooming in is skin-to-skin
contact in a calm environment

to soothe the baby.

But it requires constant
holding and frequent feeding

from the baby's mother.

I'll do it.

Helen...

I can't let that baby suffer anymore.

Okay, thank you.

- Uh, Dr. Frome?
- Yes?

Uh, I'm Alex Demos.

The VA told me you found my dog tags.

Yes, we did. Um...

Yeah, I have them... here.

Mustafa wasn't a soldier.
He was our Iraqi interpreter.

Interpreters aren't, uh...
they're not part of the unit?

Um, not officially, no.
But he went everywhere with us.

- Mm.
- Took enemy fire with us.

- Saved the whole unit more than once.
- Mmm.

I mean, that's why I gave him
my dog tags when we pulled out.

So he'd always know he was one of us.

Mustafa's body, um,
had seen a lot of trauma.

A lot of broken bones.

Do you know why he would want
to harm himself?

Mustafa didn't do that.

Al-Qaeda did.

Ah.

After we left, they found
out he'd been working for us.

They killed his father
and then they took him.

Oh, my God. Okay, all right.

So, after he was released,
he became suicidal.

No.

I mean, he was different for sure.

They took something from him.

I could see he was in pain,
but he was just focused

on getting out of Iraq,
coming here, starting over.

It took five years and all
of us writing letters

of recommendation for his visa,
but we got him here.

What was it like once he got here?

Happy. We all went to the airport.

The whole unit.

And he seemed so excited
to start his new life.

So then why did he jump?

How's that headache diagnosis coming?

Dr. Kao gave me her ten minutes.

Tell me about it.

Strawberry banana. Promise.

This is quite the consolation
prize for losing my job.

Oh, it hasn't happened yet.

Doesn't matter.

Tonight is fait accompli.

You know, Max, this can't
be good for you, either.

With me gone they could just
as easily bench you

before your cancer does.

Wow. I'll be damned.

It's not like that.

What did she offer you?

Brantley said she likes
the changes I've made

and she wants me to...

Keep making them.

Of course she does.

The knife twists better that way.

Peter...

Okay, let me just ask you something,

just out of courtesy.

Are you gonna vote with her?

I'm gonna do what's best
for this hospital.

Hey, let me talk to you for a second.

All right, so Bloom's on vacation?

Yeah.

That's it? She just...

- She just dropped everything?
- What do you expect?

She's been pulling doubles.
Doubles on top of doubles.

And she wouldn't chill it
with the Adderall.

It was out of control.

My girl, she just needed a break.

I just thank God they finally made her.

Whoa, whoa. Who made her?

Wait, you thought she
was actually on vacation?

She's not crying or shaking anymore.

I'd call that progress.

She looks almost peaceful.

Almost.

What's going on in there?

It's just, um, I was just
thinking about this morning.

How nothing was normal.

What's ever normal around here?

My mornings usually are.

But today everything was...

It was out of whack.

I was coming back from Philly.
Totally different schedule.

Different subways.

I didn't even come into
the hospital the same way.

Hmm.

Well, you can't think about that,
the what if you hadn't found her.

Well, no, it's not that.

Do you ever feel like... like
the universe is trying

to tell you something?

Only all the time.

You know how much I want to have a baby.

And my body hasn't exactly
been cooperating.

What if the universe brought us together?

Helen...

What if Zuhrah is the baby
that I was meant to have?

Zuhrah?

I couldn't keep calling her Baby Doe.

She needed a name.

She did.

I've always loved Zuhrah.

For a girl.

If I had a girl.

I'm giving Dr. Kapoor my ten minutes.

You.

I've tried to be very patient
with you, Dr. Kapoor.

Ten minute consults.
It's not that complicated.

It's not enough time.

Well, it is for everyone else.

My ED, my rules. Not Dr. Bloom's.

For someone who does not want
to run things like Dr. Bloom,

you sound exactly like her.

Incoming!

What the hell happened?

Janitor says the Dean just collapsed
in the hall outside your office.

Dean, we're gonna take good care...

- I got this, I got this.
- Board meeting.

I have to go to the board meeting.

Don't worry about that.

Just worry about getting you healthy.

Give me nitro and let's
set up an IV stat.

Okay? Thank you.

Max, we were wondering what
was taking so long.

Peter had a heart attack
at New Amsterdam.

- What?
- But he's gonna be all right.

We expect him to make a quick
and full recovery.

Oh, well, that's good to hear.

Honestly, there was no better
place for him to have had it

than right here surrounded
by an amazing staff

who appreciate him almost as
much as the esteemed members

of this board.

I mean, I know I do.

He never backs down
from a fight, does he?

Always pushes me to do
what's best for our hospital.

I can't be the medical director
I am without him.

Anyway, uh, he sends along
his heartfelt thanks

for your ongoing support.

How's your... how's your pain?

How's your pain level?

I've learned to live with it.

Alex told me about what happened in Iraq.

You've been through a lot.

Mustafa, what doesn't Alex know?

Nothing.

I can't...

She can't ever find out.
She'll think it was her fault.

- She's done so much for me.
- Okay, it's okay.

It's all right.

Anything you say, it's between us.

All right? This whole thing.

I thought everything would
be better when I came here.

Some things were.

Alex, her family, they tried to make me

feel at home.

But when I'd go out...

To the movies, the store,
to look for a job...

People just looked at me
like I was a terrorist.

Some even said it to my face.

So much for "support our troops", huh?

What about going home?
You ever think of doing that?

I can't.

There, I'm a traitor.

Because you worked for us.

I thought maybe here in the city I could

meet other Iraqis.

Be part of a community.

But they don't...

They weren't in the war.

They don't understand.

There's no one that I can...

I don't belong anywhere.

Alex.

- Hey.
- Hi.

How is he?

You know, I'm... I'm not gonna lie.

He's got a... a long road back from here.

But the good news is I can
get him into a program here

at our clinic for torture survivors,

and they will be able
to provide him with a lot

of the therapy he needs,
both mentally and physically.

But...

Oh, he's gonna need more
than that, isn't he?

Yeah.

Well, just tell me what I need to do.

You finished?

Hmm?

Oh.

Okay.

Well, you don't have
to be so bossy about it.

Actually...

Be bossy.

Tell me what you want, when you want it.

You tell the world, little one.

You deserve to be heard and I
promise to hear you always.

Jenny was just in to take her vitals.

She told me.

Treatment seems to be working.

Yeah.

You wouldn't believe
how much calmer she is.

She's synching to my heartbeat.

Like I'm her mom.

Please don't look at me like that.

I mean, would it really be so
crazy if I wanted to adopt her?

What?

There's someone here to see the baby.

Wendy gave her up.

It's not Wendy.

It's the baby's father.

Do you understand that Zuhrah
was born addicted to opioids?

That her mother was doing drugs

while she was pregnant with her?

Why didn't you get her help?

I tried.

She didn't listen.

We broke up, like, uh, eight...
eight months ago.

Moved up to Poughkeepsie.

I... I didn't know about the baby.

Not till three hours ago.

And, uh, why did Wendy change her mind?

Because this morning she didn't
want Dr. Sharpe to call anyone.

Maybe she came down off the drugs.

Maybe she actually realized
what she'd done.

Wendy's not a... she's not a bad person.

She just got caught up in all this.

She had a bad fall.
Um, doctors prescribed her Oxy.

She never got off it.

I didn't know that she was pregnant.

Or I... I'd have stayed.

I'd have made her get help.

So that things could be better
for my daughter.

And... and I want... I want to step up.

I wanna do, uh, he right thing.
I want to take her home.

Yeah.

It's not that easy.

You got hoops?

I'll jump through them.
Whatever it takes.

Yeah, okay.

We'll set you up with a social
worker and get things started.

Awesome. Thank you.

Yeah.

And, uh... and thank you, doc.

For everything that you've done for her.

I'll be a good dad to her.

I swear.

You're all set, Ms. Laghari.

Thanks for listening, Dr. Kapoor.

Okay, after that marathon, I gotta know.

What was your final diagnosis?

Lyme Disease.

Lyme Disease?

300,000 people get diagnosed
with Lyme Disease every year.

Why did it take you all shift
to come up with that?

I let her complain about her in-laws.

She talked about her trips
to Minnesota to help them

sell their home.

I learned of their affinity
for, uh, fly fishing.

Near a breeding ground for ticks.

- Well done.
- Agreed.

You know, when Dr. Bloom is in charge,

my methods go unnoticed.

But your ED ran so efficiently
today that those same methods

stood out.

Was there a compliment
in there somewhere, D. Kapoor?

There might have been.

Oh, man.

You should have seen their faces.

Totally bought it.

I'm sure you gave them the full Max.

I know you thought that
the fake heart attack thing

was a little over the top,
but go big or go home, right?

Right.

I gotta tell you, I think you're doing

amazing things at the hospital.

Staff loves you.

Patients thank God for you every day.

And I think for me,
hiring you is the smartest

thing I've done in 50 years of medicine.

All right, you're gonna give
me a fake heart attack.

No, but I'm... I'm just glad
I got you here

- before it's too late.
- Too late?

What are you... she's gonna call
any second with the terms

- of your new contract. I...
- Max, Max, Max.

She already called.

I'm out.

- No, let me... let me call her.
- Max.

It's done.

I'm out.

I know where Bloom is.

Floyd, we can't talk about that.

Look, I know there
are processes in place,

and I don't wanna compromise you.

Okay, so then what are we doing here?

Well, you're a therapist, aren't you?

You could listen.

Okay, yeah, I can.

Come here.

I am struggling here, man.

I just... I can't help
but feel that I'm...

You know, I thought I was her friend.

But then I don't see this coming.

I mean, how is that even possible?

I just keep thinking that had
I asked the right questions,

you know, or if I had said
the right thing and not...

No, Floyd, this is not on you.

Yeah, but she's my friend
and she needed my help.

And I wasn't there.

You need to trust the process.

You need to let her have
the space she needs

to work through this on her own.
That's it.

This is not something that you can fix.

Do you understand?

Okay, good.

She's beautiful.

Do you want to hold her?

Hey there, little one.

I'm your dad.

Uh, I hope you don't mind
if she keeps the name.

Kinda suits her.

Uh, what's it mean, anyway?

It means brightness.

Because that's what she'll
bring to your life.

Hey, you up for some visitors?

For you, brother.

You're one of us.

Always.

Hi.

I owe you an apology.

I wasn't honest with you this morning.

So you are not taking me
to the greatest dinner tonight?

I love you.

And I just, uh...

I just can't leave
anything unsaid anymore.

You are the person I never
thought I'd find.

The person I want to travel with.

Build things with.

Learn things from.

What do you need to learn?

How to be a better friend.

Look, I, uh... I can't go
to dinner with you tonight.

There's someone going
through something and...

I have to be there.

A friend?

A mutual friend.

Go be a good friend.

For both of us.

Are you okay? I came as soon as I could.

I need to ask you something.

And you're gonna think I'm
crazy for asking you now.

Just ask.

I know that we haven't been
seeing each other for very long

and it's way too soon to be
having this conversation

but I am getting too old not
to have this conversation.

Oh.

I want to have a child.

And I need to know how you feel
about kids because I...

I've been trying to find
a way to talk to you

about the same thing.

You have?

I love kids.

I wanted to tell you sooner.

I just, um...

Had to be sure.

About?

Us.

There's someone here to see you.
